From the introduction: "The National Park Service (NPS), as a function of its founding legislation (Organic Act of 1916) and the Clean Air Act (P.L. 95-95), has "an affirmative responsibility" to protect air quality-related values in the National Park System. Congress emphasized visibility protection in the National Parks as a major goal of the Clean Air Act. The NPS manages 48 areas designated as class I by the Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations of the Clean Air Act. To fulfill their responsibility to protect the air quality-related values of visibility in these class I areas, the NPS initiated a comprehensive visibility monitoring program in 1978."
